Assalamialikkum varahmatullahi vabarakathuhu. Please explain in detail the postures of ruku, sajdah (how to keep the hands)and sitting positions for both athahiyyaths for ladies according to sha'afi school of thought.. Is there any difference in position,in hanafi madhab for ladies . if so details of positions ;according to hanafi madhab. Would appreciate an early reply . جزاك الله خيرا

Answer:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب وبالله التوفيق والنجاح

According to the Shafi'i Madhhab
Women should keep their hands close to the sides in ruku 'and sujud.
It is enough to be like men in athahiyath

According to the Hanafi Madhhab
Women should keep their hands close to the sides in ruku 'and sujud. (Like Shafi madhab)

difference is in athahiyath where the women should sit the Thawwarruk sitting (by touching the bottom on the floor).
And the legs do not have to be stretched.

والله أعلم بالصواب
